Apple takes to the Court yet again!

Oh, Apple! When Will You Learn? | xda-developers


The big Apple is at it again. They enjoy suing mega-companies such as Amazon for copyright infringement of the App store name and now they're after Samsung. Currently Apple Inc. is upset with Samsung for infringing on intellectual property rights. They've left a number of sued companies in their wake (HTC, Nokia, and Google to name a few) and Samsung will hopefully come out on top. Their new Touchwiz UI is very similar to the OS running on Apple's beloved iPad, iPhone, and iPod. Check back later for an update on the matter.

PPCGeeks.com » UPDATE: BlackBerry Messenger Coming To iPhone April 26th – FALSE




For many of you in the business world or those who simply do love you Blackberry, you're probably quite familiar with the application Blackberry Messenger (BBM). The application assigns your phone a number and different users can hold conversations in a chat style format with up to 2000 characters per message.

For years it has been a big selling point for the mobile devices but recently rumor had it that the iOS as well as Android would have a working version to expand the market usage. Unfortunately for the iPhone lovers out there but this might be the first app your phone doesn't get. This is rare but a recent update stated that only Android users would have access to the program until a later date T.B.D.

PPCGeeks.com » [DISCUSSION] Can Motorola build an Operating System better than Android/iOS?


With a number of different operating systems surfacing in the market it's no wonder that long time electronics maker Motorola is jumping on the band wagon. They've recently hired a number of developers from Apple, Adobe, among other noteworthy companies with plans to develop its own operating system.

The question is: CAN IT COMPETE!?!

When discussed with Motorola representatives, they have no intention of abandoning their current operating system provider -- Google's Android. They simply plan on adding their own. Think they'll be able to pull off such a scheme?

Motorola recognizes, investigates Atrix 4G voice quality issues -- Engadget

Motorola recognizes, investigates Atrix 4G voice quality issues -- Engadget

UH OH. For all of the Atrix 4G users out there, this is not the best news in the world. If you're experiencing some voice quality issues with your device then join the club. This issue has been reported enough to the point AT&T is making a note of it. I'm having a bit of Deja Vu looking back at the iphone 4 release and antenna issues. AT&T may have just jumped in market share but they certainly haven't rid themselves of all the technical issues in their devices. If you would like to see what others are saying or how they're treating the issue head over to Motorola's support page (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/45510?start=0&tstart=0) and keep up to date on any progress being made. Until then, I hope the Atrix has some killer SMS/email abilities. Enjoi

Should Big Red grab Sprint?! What do you think??

PPCGeeks.com » [DISCUSSION] Should Verizon buy Sprint? What do you think?

With the recent purchase AT&T made in buying T-Mobile, there's been some speculation of other Wireless broadband consolidation. Should Verizon Wireless take over Sprint?!? Verizon currently controls 31.3% of the cellular market while Sprint holds 16.1%. Together the two would be an nice 47.4% (for all you calculus fans). AT&T controlled 26.6% of the market before its acquisition of T-Mobile with 12.2% share putting it at comfy top spot with 38.8% market share. Verizon, as a result of AT&T's acquisition, is no longer the top dog in the Wireless provider game and some changes might need to be made in order to regain top market share. While consolidation means less competition among the big guys there's still some advantages of the idea. Spring is hardly using a large portion of their "wireless spectrum" and Verizon could help utilize such potential. Anyway check out the comments over at PPCGeeks to see what others think and leave a note yourself. Enjoi
